If they weren't considering giving us extra tickets then why force Orient to sell block by block, or did Orient go beyond the level of sales where that was possible?
I think they must have. If Orient had sold nearer 20k then I think we’d have got a lot more
Possibly but it has been obvious for days how many they would sell, so why not communicate the issue.
CAFC comms has been poor this week. They have not built a rapport with the fans in the way they did before the semi (eg drummer video) and have had multiple opportunities handed to them on a plate and rejected.
I am hearing that Leyton have invested a lot more on their fan zone at wembley and we are re-using what we already have rather than bespoke.
Just seen this on Facebook. Says it’s subject to change but will give everyone an idea of drink prices in the stadium.
To no surprise, that is disgraceful.
Useful reminder for self preparation though. Large breakfast and beers in a London pub a fair distance from the ground
Probably limit to just 1 or 2 pints when at wembley.
I'll only bring disposable cash via max spend.
I was thinking £7.85 is surprisingly decent for a pint in London. Unless your in a Wetherspoons or something like that £7/£7.50 is pretty much the going rate.
Depends where you go. I know pubs in London where it's still typically £4.50 for a pint.
The only high £7-8 rate I've experienced in London is Gatwick/Heathrow
This is a very interesting thread and all that but “typically £4.50” in London - where are these boozers Dave? (Sam Smiths don’t count). Unfortunately over £7 is typical in my vast experience.
Should you suffer from a medical condition which requires you to carry medication and/or equipment with you in the event of an emergency, such as a diabetic who many require to carry insulin and needles, we will of course allow these items into the stadium, however we require the following actions / documentation to support your entry to the venue.
Contact your doctor or health care professional to ensure you are fit to attend the event at Wembley Stadium connected by EE. This is strongly advised, Wembley Stadium connected by EE cannot provide medical advice to guests prior to an event.
Please ensure your doctor or health care professional provides you with written confirmation to confirm your medical condition and the medication and/or equipment you require to bring to the stadium for your welfare in the event of a medical emergency. Please ensure you bring this letter with you as our stewarding teams will require sight of this letter to allow you entry to the stadium.
That is not easy to do. My wife carries two Adrenaline auto injectors (just in case one doesn't work or is not enough) for severe allergic and anaphylactic shock episodes. First prescribed in 2001, after a near death experience, she has never had any documentation, just endless repeat prescriptions since. Getting paperwork and letters from a GP is like trawling through treacle and they charge anything from £15- £50 plus per document. Her condition is largely self managed, the only time a health professional, other than a GP would get involved is during a A&E resuscitation admission. There is no paperwork, or letters confirming her medical condition, the fact that she carries auto adrenaline injectors is the explanation itself.
I'm in the same situation carrying 2 epipens @andipandi . To be completely honest it's ridiculous that Wembley have a higher criteria for this than getting on a plane. Hoping that if I take along the epipen boxes which have the prescription sticker on and includes my name that will be enough. No chance of a letter at this stage.
Hi everyone, this is my first comment on here. Im a lifelong Charlton supporter born just 10 minutes walk from the Valley. (And 9 months after we won the FA Cup:-)) Now living in Norway, (Since 1984) and a Military Vet. (27 years) Lived in Eltham (Mottingham) for many years before joining the Army. Not far from Sparrowslane. Still working in the Adventure industry organising Battlefield tours to Norway. I have also organised tours to the Valley for Scandinavian Supporters in the past and was a member of Valley Gold for many years; even Voted for the Valley party as I was still a registered voter based in West Germany. I try to fly back to the UK every season from Norway to see at least 2/3 games; its very expensive! CAFC isnt just a football team, but an institution and an important part of our Culture. Although the ticket office has been incredibly helpfull in helping the ticket buying process, it has been impossible getting a ticket for this game tomorrow. I am currently visiting the UK (Bexhill) and would obviously and like to go. If anyone has a spare ticket, and is prepared to sell it, message me on here, I would be very grateful, for the opportunity. (Like 10000 others I would think:-) Anyway, whatever happens, COYR,

If you want to put pressure on the clowns at the EFL and Wembley to release more tickets, the best way is to go on Twitter and retweet this one from the Charlton Life Twitter account which has 7k followers. You could add a tag to Matt Slater at The Athletic (@mjshrimper) who is a Southend fan and has followed our recent dark days. Or Henry Winter (@henrywinter)

Will CM indirectly be proved right on his financial projections?
It's worse for the National League Final
The end of the day what do the club /authorities care?
For all the moaning everyone will still go to the games.
By the looks of it Matt Slater is not liking some of the interaction with our supporters, no idea why he thinks the upper tier is closed for us
